Note: The 5G World Forum has decided to make our 2020 event fully virtual to eliminate uncertainty in light of Covid-19 and to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our global community. With plenty of time to prepare, the goal is to make our virtual event as rich and comprehensive as our in-person events, including multiple tracks and exhibition opportunities for industry. Registration fees will be reduced, and we remain committed to the publication and indexing of all accepted and registered papers in IEEE Xplore. Stay tuned for the precise details of the virtual 5G World Forum!
===================================================== IEEE 5G World Forum 2020 (5GWF'20) http://ieee-wf-5g.org/ Theme: 5G and Beyond 10-12 September 2020 Bangalore, India ===================================================== Organized by IEEE Future Networks Initiative and IEEE Bangalore Section and IEEE India Council IMPORTANT DATES FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS Technical paper submission: May 23, 2020 (Firm Extension) Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2020 Camera-ready submission: July 31, 2020 SCOPE The 2020 IEEE 3rd 5G World Forum (5GWF'20) in Bangalore, India, seeks contributions on how to nurture and cultivate 5G technologies and applications for the benefit of society. (http://ieee-wf-5g.org/) 5G systems should unveil a novel mobile network architecture that not only improves physical data rate, but also creates a new ecosystem allowing the deployment of novel services and applications. A key target is to build a novel network architecture that should support not only classical mobile broadband applications and services but also vertical industry (e.g. Intelligent Transport, Industrial IoTs, eHealth, etc.) and other 5G-based services. This conference aims to bring experts from industry, academia and research to exchange their vision as well as their achieved advances towards 5G, and encourage innovative cross-domain studies, research, early deployment and large-scale pilot showcases that address the challenges of 5G. [The 5G World Forum recognizes that COVID-19 is creating a feeling of uncertainty around global events. This global health crisis is a unique challenge that has impacted many members of the IEEE family. These are difficult times, but we will get through them by working together. Thank you for your support of our shared mission to advance technology for humanity.

The 5G challenges are pretty much known by now such as latency and reliability, something of a holy grail. Shaving latency down to 1ms for a host of applications from virtual reality games to tele-medicine will be another one of the toughest challenges of 5G. Start-ups are invited to showcase their innovation in this track, sending e-mail to the contact persons CONTACT FOR START-UPS: Ravikiran Annaswamy, ravikiran.a@ieee.org Sudhir Dixit, sudhir.dixit@gmail.com Titus Lo, titus.lo@ieee.org CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS The demonstrations are aimed at the researchers from academia and industry, practicing engineers, and technical managers who need to understand both technical and practical aspects of new and emerging topics within the scope of communications, networking, industrial practices/standards and so on. Demonstrations should also emphasize training for current topics and demonstrate some practical works of interest to the industry targeting near-term implementations and development in those areas. All demonstrators must register for the conference in the appropriate category. Each tabletop is equipped with a power supply. Any furniture or additional equipment is subject to additional fees and needs to be notified to the organizers well in advance; no additional equipment can be arranged without prior notice. Placement of the tabletop is determined by conference organizers. All submitted proposals will be peer reviewed. PROPOSAL FORMAT Demo proposals can be up to 2 pages long (including any references) and should be written either in MS Word format or in LaTeX format using the templates available at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
